Deputies from the Emmet County Sheriff's Department are investigating a breaking and entering which took place at the Pepsi Company Distribution Center located in Little Traverse Township sometime over the weekend. The incident was discovered when the business re-opened today, Monday.

Police said the culprits gained entry by using a reciprocating saw to cut a hole in the side of the metal building. Once inside the building the suspects ransacked the offices and were able to gain entry into a locked safe. The thieves made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, vending machine keys and two pieces of office equipment. Emmet County Sheriff Pete Wallin is asking that anyone with information or who may have seen anything suspicious in the area of Moeller Drive and West Conway Road to contact Det./Sgt. Bobra Johnston at 439-8904.
